Good morning.I had to update today. Just getting back online. It is good to have it all fresh and new. I hope they keep our net neutrality because going back to dial-up speeds sucks.I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday. It's my 67th birthday and I get my wish.

Sunny, if you find a way to hid inside, please share. I need to go out today and while it is not as cold here as it is by you..I do not like it. Good news is tomorrow & Sunday it is supposed to be in the 50's. Then cold again. WE are all going to have pneumonia soon..it needs to either get cold & stay that way or keep with the mild temps to my notion.

Sweet dreams all.Jonni finally applied for health insurance. She turned 26 this year and needed to purchase adult insurance and not be through me anymore. So she got in just under the wire. (Well, for the national stuff. I didn't tell her that the final date in Ca is really Jan 31st. )I didn't nag her, just reminded every couple of weeks.

Glad that Jonni is covered now. I am sure it makes a momma feel goods to know that her child is protected.

Today I will be making a pie & Green Bean casserole, & then cleaning the bathrooms & doing laundry. The party doe snot begin until after 3

I need to work out where I will put my Grandchildren's toy boxes. They usually get put into the living room so the girl's room is clear for the 2 pack N plays that need to go in with the crib. BUT with the tree up in the living room that is not possible.

I have it figured out--some will go under the crib. some on the dies of one of the extra chairs in the Living room & one box will go in front of the fireplace--it is 61*F today, so no danger of wanting to light the fireplace tomorrow.

Good evening everyone. Valarie & Family just left. We had a wonderful Christmas day here. The girls went to bed late & so they slept while everyone else opened up their gifts..and then we got the girls up & they opened up thier gifts. Heidi was all about opening packages..the other 2 just wanted to play with their new toys...

and our "Henry?" he opened up everyone elses gifts (he helped us LOL)

Not much planned for today besides laundry and mopping. Tomorrow is the school concert...it is also calling for a snow storm for the afternoon. I hope the concert is done by the time the snow starts.

The kids were excited yesterday. The new place where DD moved has a Santa that rides through town with the help of the firefighters with a shiny firetruck handing out treats to the kids. GB was more excited for the sirens and lights then the treat.

yes I do get 2 Christmases....this year. There are rumors that Emily will come home for next Christmas but we will not be living here..so I am worried about where she will stay, b/c her MIL has moved to a town 1 hour from here....

Errands, a visit with my cousin and and packing are on the agenda today.

I wish you all a wonderful Monday.

Guess I better check in before you all think I just disappeared... finally got new house unpacked.. mostly. Christmas décor is up too, all new places to put things... we are looking fwd to youngest dd and her family coming for Christmas , right after anyway... if our Timothy doesn't have whooping cough.. he is sick and best friend has it, so seeing doc today... sure hope not ... !

Checking in...as long as my internet holds out. So much has happened recently, my dad dying was a big blow. Losing my Social Security then going through all the ordeal of getting it back was such a worry to me. I would have become an alcoholic during that time if I could afford a bottle of wine. I have a possum now that I have been feeding for almost 3 months. Have to figure out how to post a picture of her on here. Her name is Sweetie Pie.
